New Taipei City: A brace from Niki Torrao helped Benfica Macau continue their impressive form in the AFC Cup with a 4-1 win over Hang Yuen on Wednesday.
The home side were searching for their first win of the campaign, but fell behind early when an attempted clearance from Yen Ting-Yung fell perfectly into the path of Torrao who slotted home from the edge of the area.
Hang Yuen found a way back into the side less then 10 minutes later when Hsu Yi’s floated cross into the box was met by Chen Ching-Hsuan, who beat Batista to the ball to head home into an open net.
It took just over five minutes for the visitors to restore their lead, however, with Huang Shih-Yuan heading the ball into his own net on 25 minutes.
Huang Chiu-Lin then produced two fine saves in the space of a minute to deny Torrao a second of the evening and keep the match at 2-1 heading into half time.
